About Us

Welcome to the online edition of The Western News. The Western News, a twice weekly newspaper located in Libby, was one of the first Montana newspapers to go online - the first among smaller publications. The first online issue appeared in early Spring 1995 with our Spring and Summer Visitors Guide.

The Western News reaches roughly 3,000 households with every edition and is the largest paid-circulation newspaper in our region. The website, www.thewesternnews.com is the most-visited website in Lincoln County, attracting more than 30,000 unique visitors and 140,000 pageviews each month.

For more features and information, pick up a copy of The Western News. We cover southern Lincoln County, including Libby and Troy. The newspaper is published every Tuesday and Friday morning and is available at news stands, participating businesses and through home delivery via the U.S. Postal Service. Home delivery for residents of Lincoln County is available for $47 per year. We also offer an e-edition that readers can receive via email.
